In this blog, I endeavor to share thoughts about issues that I find timely and compelling - leadership, faith, business issues, recruiting trends, Renaissance Men and Women in the world, Service Academies and their graduates, helping military leaders transition to leadership roles in the business world, international travel, literature, theater, films, the arts and the once and future World Champion Boston Red Sox!

Review of "Paisley Mischief" by Lincoln MacVeigh - Having Fun While Biting The Hand That Fed Him

Author Lincoln MacVeagh calls himself a lapsed WASP. The product of Groton and Harvard, he clearly takes delight at poking fun at the stuffy ethos of old money New York City in this delightful send-up of a novel entitled "Paisley Mischief." The actions centers on the relationships among the members of the ultra-exclusive men's only Avenue Club on Park Avenue. Drawn into the humidor-infused atmosphere are family members, hangers on, would-be members, staff and the literary and journalist worlds of Manhattan. MacVeagh is relentless at cleverly prodding and poking the stuffiness of those who get to decide who are "our kind of people." Class and ethnic snobbery are revealed as characters respond to a recently published roman a clef that hints at dark secrets hidden in the cedar closets of Avenue Club members. The book is a delightful romp through the tony Upper East Side and the Hamptons.

About Me

As the Founder of White Rhino Partners, I work as an executive coach and an executive recruiter. Client companies and executive level candidates look to me - not just as a recruiter - but as a trusted advisor. AS a coach, I specialize in helping executives or senior military officers who are in transition. As a recruiter, I specialize in placing senior executives who are "Renaissance Men and Women," and who are entrepreneurial leaders - many of whom have had a distinguished military career and/or are Service Academy graduates and hold MBA's from top-tier business schools.
